Primates are smart, flexible, and adaptive creatures. How have they responded to changes in climate over millions of years? Climate is the major factor that determines where a species can and ...
A new study suggests that gut microbes played a key role in the evolution of larger brains in primates by influencing energy ...
Take a closer look at your hands—they carry millions of years of evolutionary history, connecting you to our closest primate ...
Microbes supporting the production of more metabolic energy could be key to the evolution of large brains. Microbes that ...
Cross-linguistic studies have revealed similar biases when people view images of events. In tasks where people have to ...
Gut microbiota from primates with larger brains promotes glucose production and energy allocation for brain function, ...
Research indicates that the complex behaviors used in human language and tool making, such as organizing actions into sequences, may have evolved in our common ancestors with chimpanzees. This study ...
Researchers show gut microbes may have fueled brain evolution by optimizing energy use. Experiments revealed that microbes in ...
